PhD In Biological And Life Sciences

The doctoral degree programme at Biological and Life Sciences offers a unique academic experience. Apart from the many opportunities gained from a lively exchange with experts from across disciplines (and Ahmedabad University’s various global partnerships), the programme also grants access to state-of-the-art laboratories that house well equipped facilities.

1. Nanobiotechnology, nanotoxicology and environmental biotechnology

2. Bioinformatics, biophysics and bioengineering

3. Stem cell biology and cancer biology

4. Ecology and evolutionary biology

5. Microbiology and parasitology
